Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Liverpool at Anfield (kick-off 16:30 GMT).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

• The Gunners boss gave an update on team news. On Noni Madueke's availability for Sunday, he said: "We do not know yet. We have a training session tomorrow so we will see if he can complete the full session and after that we will know if he is available."

• On the severity of Bukayo Saka's issue: "He needed another scan to see the amount and if the tendon was touched and how badly it was touched and afterwards, we will know more about it." He added that they will "have to wait and see next week", on Saka's availability for England duty.

• On Declan Rice, Riccardo Calafiori and Christos Tzolis: "They all trained today, they will train tomorrow and if everything is OK then they will be available."

• Arteta on his reaction to Max Dowman's sending-off: "My reaction comes from a moment of heat and extreme frustration because I know the consequences of that, especially for Max. It is something we discussed just before we went out because it is not the first time it has happened. We have to be able to tell each other what we think because he is 16 and we have to be very protective of him, but at the same time very straight with him about what we expect of him towards the team, individuals and the club."

• The Arsenal boss said "This is the environment, this is the reality. We are not in Disneyland, we are in the Premier League. We look after him so much but at the same time we're going to be demanding because he needs to earn the right to play." He added that there were no issues with Dowman now after the two had a conversation.

• Arteta expects a "big game on Sunday, we're looking forward to it for sure. It's 14 years that we haven't won there, so it's time to do it".

• On how the Gunners will aim to deal with Alexander Isak: "By keeping him as far from the goal as possible. We always try, it's not only him, it's all the connections that they have, especially when they have space to run. We know how dangerous they are."

• Arteta said it will be a "privilege" and a "blessing" to face Andoni Iraola again after the two "spent so many beautiful moments together when [they were] younger".
